“…In contrast to Dix and Aggleton [44], we found that the d1 measure kept increasing with trial duration of T2, meaning that longer trials will automatically produce better discrimination performance. On the other hand, after a 1 h delay, the d2 and d3 measures were insensitive to the trial duration of T2 and remained stable during the whole trial duration of 3 min.…”

“…and T2, the first 90 s contributed roughly 66% of the total exploration, this corresponds to the findings of Dix and Aggleton [44] who found that most discriminative exploration was displayed in the first 2 minutes of a trial. In our experiments d1 and d2 measures were already significantly higher than zero after a trial duration of 30 s in T2.…”

“…The spontaneous object recognition (SOR) task is simple to run, requires no rule learning, and lends itself to numerous variants that can be used to assess associative recognition and recency Dix and Aggleton 1999;Warburton and Brown 2010). Procedurally, the spontaneous exploration task appears very similar to preferred-viewing tests given to humans, which are thought to tax processes required for explicit tests of recognition memory (Manns et al 2000).…”

Both clinical investigations and studies with animals reveal nuclei within the diencephalon that are vital for recognition memory (the judgment of prior occurrence). This review seeks to identify these nuclei and to consider why they might be important for recognition memory. Despite the lack of clinical cases with circumscribed pathology within the diencephalon and apparent species differences, convergent evidence from a variety of sources implicates a subgroup of medial diencephalic nuclei. It is supposed that the key functional interactions of this subgroup of diencephalic nuclei are with the medial temporal lobe, the prefrontal cortex, and with cingulate regions. In addition, some of the clinical evidence most readily supports dual-process models of recognition, which assume two independent cognitive processes (recollective-based and familiarity-based) that combine to direct recognition judgments. From this array of information a "multi-effect multinuclei" model is proposed, in which the mammillary bodies and the anterior thalamic nuclei are of preeminent importance for recollective-based recognition. The medial dorsal thalamic nucleus is thought to contribute to familiarity-based recognition, but this nucleus, along with various midline and intralaminar thalamic nuclei, is also assumed to have broader, indirect effects upon both recollective-based and familiarity-based recognition.Clinical studies repeatedly show that diencephalic pathology can impair recognition memory. Even so, there is no agreed locus within the diencephalon responsible for this memory loss and, hence, no agreed mechanism to explain the impairment. The present review examines both clinical and animal findings, and from this information a multi-effect multi-nuclei (MEMN) model emerges to explain the contributions of the diencephalon to recognition memory.At the outset, it is necessary to refine the focus of this review and to define some of its principal terms. The diencephalon comprises the thalamus and hypothalamus but, as will be explained, only the more medial parts of the diencephalon will be considered in detail. Recognition memory refers to the ability to detect whether a stimulus (e.g., a word, face, picture, object, or sound) has previously been encountered. As a consequence, this review is not about item identification (sometimes also confusingly referred to as recognition). Likewise, conditions that have broad disruptive effects on cognition, e.g., dementia, will not be considered even though recognition is typically impaired. Distinctions will be made between "item recognition," where the task is to determine if an individual item is novel or familiar, and "associative recognition," where all the individual items being experienced are familiar, but their particular combination is novel. A further, distinct ability is "recency" discrimination-the ability to determine which of two familiar stimuli has been experienced more recently. Both studies of amnesia and electrophysiological recordings show how recency memory and recogniti...

“…Even for non-social objects, differences in relative familiarity provide the opportunity for discrimination (e.g. Steckler et al 1998;Dix & Aggleton 1999). For a territorial group-living animal like the rat (Barnett 1963), there will be an immediate need to be able to distinguish between individuals on the basis of familiarity, e.g.…”
